Also, I see double most of things, you may be right.
Can you imagine Kanter's bushy, thick, heavy hairs as a gigantic Afro. I indeed made a mistake but that was the weight line. Also think that afro with plenty of salty sweat. For the aerodynamic tunnels... Yes, it is innovative.

But wouldn't that make him fatter, instead of taller? I definately don't want that.
He plays bigger than his size when he goes up for boards. Seems to play smaller than his size under the basket.

The thing is, Enes has been a phenomen since he was 15-16 in Turkey. So we always followed him from the time. And he has always dominated all competion that he was in. I remember him being said as a 6-8 dominating bulldozer. So every basketball enthusiastic like me were always following and investigating him. We all were waiting and praying for him to be 7' or 7'1 Shaquesqo dominating big. Also there was guys saying that he will be stuck at 6'9 and won't grow much, he needed testosterone shots, wheaties blah blah in order to grow more, but thanks all the gods people believe he didn't stop there. But he didn't go to the other way much either. But I consider him as a legit 6'10. And to me that is it.
By the way I've always been with that lucky tall people population. So I believe I can sense the heigths of tall people without illusionic mistakes or perspective issues. I was a undersized sg for two years, played with 6'10-7'00 guys and have seen thousands of bball players so I am confident when it comes to compare peoples' heights.
He will bring his offensive game later within the time. Especially if Corbin trust his mid range he will go for lots of and 1s and some nasty dunks. I am just waiting with patience.

Kanters girth can throw you off a bit. For example a guy like evens looks taller than someone like Kanter even if they are the same height. It is just the way our brain works and lots of euro centers are thin. My guess from watching him is 6'10.5 -6'11 not true center size but a good tweener size.

You are rigth but I had most of the time clean methods to compare players' height. First thing I have always cared to have players at same time, very close to each others with good postures or with stable objects like basket frame, corridor walls' lines, door roof(ceiling whatever).
And Enes has always been my target. And on many occasions I have tried to convince myself that he is legit 6'11 or more because I wanted him to dominate the NBA in his future career but i couldn't manage to. I still believe he can absolutely be one of the best big men of the game but he won't ever have Shaq-like dominance in the game unless he suddenly grows five inches.
He looks 6'11 to me. He isn't exceptionally long, so maybe that is why he seems smaller to you.

I say he is 6'10. If you come to 6'10 plus and a half of an inch, I'll be ok to shake hands for the sake of our holy bargaining tradition.
